The distributor doesn't have to be removed. Just make sure the intake gaskets are on the right way They say Intake side on them.

Get a new by-pass hose and a longer hose for the brake booster. Sort and label the bolts as you take them off, there are various sizes and lengths on the Alt/AC support bracket.

Seal up the holes on the bottom front and rear of the M1 with some RTV.

Take your time.

Use tyhe Felpro gaskets or any other gasket set with the cork end seals and you don't have to worry about the "holes" everyone talkes about filling. Also, make sure the block and manifold mating surfaces are real clean of any grease or oil, and use plenty of silicone sealant in the corners where the gaskets mate. Get a new t-stat and gasket while you are at it. Buy new intake manifold bolts, and cut the heads off the old ones and put them in a couple holes to help guide the new manifold in place. The Distributor does not have to be removed, and the Alt and AC units can stay attatched to the bracket. Just remove the bracket and lay everything off to the side. Leave the injectors on the fuel rails and lay the rails/injectors off to the side as well. When you go to install the fuel rails, make sure the spacers allow the injectors to seat into the injector bosses on new manifold fully. Sometimes the fuel rail spacers need to be ground down a little to allow proper mating of the injectors.
